lol what? ladies night is about drawing in women so you can then draw in even more men.

coincidentally, if the gender gap happy hour draws in women to draw in even more men they'll be paying full price for their drinks

There are people in D&D claiming that the entire forum has become alt-right with the banning of the Hillary toxxers

So basically old rich white men discovered that the most basic level of social justice doesn't actually hurt them and actually makes for additional avenues to apply leverage.

I wish I'd kept the forums quote where the guy expresses his gratitude for being introduced to privilege theory and the idea that he could be using his natural white privilege to much greater effect now that he was aware of it.

I'm not under 24 but I can't say an equality-themed ad has made me engage with a product line any further than saying "alright good for them." I do know that anti-equality stances by representatives of a brand will lead me to not support them, but very rarely has it gone the other way.

Because advertising is about making the viewer consciously and deliberately say "Yes, now I am going to buy your product."

Climate change isn't an individual problem, it's a problem that requires government intervention. Sure you can help a bit, but it is not up to the individual to "fix it." It's up to the government to force businesses/communites to enact policy that will fix it. The individuals must merely adapt.

Wild concept here but individuals vote so you kinda do need to reach out to them and convince them that they're responsible for fixing it

call to action posted:

I had a discussion with a coworker yesterday, and I tried to explain why nobody at our company gives a poo poo and everyone hates their life and themselves, and he just didn't get why all these "slackers" don't "just work harder".

So then I told him, "I'm a brand. That's what I was told to be, a human brand, an entrepreneur, a hungry shark always searching, searching for the best deal because The World Doesn't Owe You. As an entrepreneur, I seek to maximize personal ROI, that is, I work on things that are going to make me money. Working harder here doesn't get me promoted, paid more, or even paid attention to, so why would I do it? Working harder by itself is a negative ROI activity."

He frowned and went back to his burrito. Now he understands Millennials.

Lol what a lovely millennial thing to say to somebody

we live in a world with a nearly infinite amount of pop culture, and it's easier to consume than it was 10 years ago. so why are the only pop culture comparisons in these vapid essays limited to Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Hamilton?

a college friend shared this on fb, and the only thing i don't like about it is "educate yourself." being a better person shouldn't be a homework assignment

I'm not sure a pure-race Mexican restaurant even exists in the US, every one I've known has been staffed by every Central and South American lineage under the sun.

the problem is that it requires the target of their protest to get what piece of pop culture they're referencing. if you go to a state capitol building cosplaying as a handmaiden, you're going to look stupid, which detracts from the message you're trying to convey. reproductive rights advocates have protested for decades without treating it like comiccon

as stupid as the anonymous masks are they at least get the point across. i haven't read the handmaiden's tale but from what these women are wearing to the protests I assume it's about selling honey sticks and baked goods out of a shack in pennsylvania?

Extra Credits is the most puerile thing I've ever seen. They claim to be educational, informative, and entertaining and they never reach the goal of even being one of those things.

"Let's describe a concept, then show you a couple basic examples of that concept. Let's ask a bunch of questions that might have interesting answers if we actually wanted to dive into this concept beyond a surface level. Aren't those neat sounding questions? Sure would be great if we had answers for them! See ya next week!"

All while speeding up the main dude's voice because...I really don't know why.

Do you think the person who does Extra Credits could be trans or non-binary and speeds up their voice to conceal their identity? That's just a theory (A GAME THEORY!) but I figured they wanted to avoid harassment because it doesn't seem like anyone would favor the sped up voice as an aesthetic choice.

Is this the same as the idea behind identifying black people over the phone?
